jamesjamesjames – J’adore
Might just write some bad words about this new single from jamesjamesjames, Sydney DJ/producer to the stars and generally glamorous house wizard. They’ve recently put forth a salty split release with Brisbane king Skin on Skin, wherein they’ve each dropped an original and a remix of each other’s original. I want you to please hear that of jamesjamesjames, called J’adore, an appellation very much in line with jjj’s glam-affluent energy. They say their music is “best played loud when you’re on the plastic surgery table having your second nose job, on your way to a Paris Hilton meet & greet, or at a 5am kick ons”. We simply must respect the specificity.
And despite some of the lo-fi-lite leanings froom this record and their history of making house with a little grain to it (see previous masterstroke ‘dickalicious cumdown beat‘) this new one has me feeling expensive. One time I went and saw 12 minutes of a David Guetta set at an arena and for my efforts got myself one of those wristbands that lights up when our Lord and God David willed it. This one has me feeling like I did for those twelve minutes, at the mercy of a micro-LED handcuff, tethered to his Parisian hits. Full of life and cash. Somehow, jamesjamesjames knows how to make you feel these chords above every jittering beat, like a clubbier Tourist, Tycho or Bonobo. Good gear. Fun fact, the songs title ‘J’adore’ directly translates from French to English as ‘Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior on Bluray’ (incidentally David Guetta’s favourite film and format).
